The White Mountains Fat Tire Festival

A Mountain Bike weekend!

September 20-22, 2024

Three days of MTB mayhem in the White Mountains!

Join us for camping, riding, live music, and more!

The White Mountains Fat Tire Fest returns to Bartlett NH where it was created in 1996. The fields of Attitash provide a great venue with grassy fields to camp in and access to the Saco River and local trails.

We're keeping it simple, it's all about riding and exploring the White Mountains. White Mountains nemba will be hosting group rides if you're into that or go out and explore on your own. The Summer Race Series will be hosting the soon to be legendary Vintage Bike Rally on Sunday at noon. Lake Life Yoga will be offering morning pre-ride yoga all weekend.

Roll in after the fest grounds open at 3pm Friday, set up camp, and get on your bike for an evening group ride from the Fields. Get down with some live music Friday night with Chris Houston and the M80’s! Rise Saturday morning and grab a coffee drink from Frontside and a tasty morsel from Vintage Bakery, take a walk down to the river and figure out what the day's plan is, there are lots of options.

Saturday and Sunday we'll be running shuttles from the Fest to Marshall Conservation for access to West Side trails, Hemlock parking for access to Eastside trails and Cranmore parking for Hurricane Zone and Eastside access. NEMBA will be hosting group rides! No need to break down camp, just jump on the bus! 

Done riding? Looking for a cold tasty bev? Saco River Brewing and Big Day Brewing will be pouring frosty beers, Terra Firma food truck and Vintage Bakery wood fire pizza will fix your calorie deficit!

Saturday night and everything's all right! Join the party with live music.

LIVE MUSIC SCHEDULE:

Friday night's band will be Chris Houston and the M-80's @6pm

Saturday bands will be Kong Moon 4-6 and Escape Goat 7-9

Join us Sunday for the Vintage Bike Rally at noon.
